Application filed February 10, 1965;. Serial No. 15,175 1 To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, Gnonou ToLlvnn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lucas, in the county of Russell and State of Kansas, have invented a new and useful Crude 'Oil Burner, of which the following is a specification.

This invention-has relationto crude oil burners and it consists in the novel construe tion and arr'angementof its parts as hereinafterQshown and described.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and an effective burner for crude oil, the parts of which are so arranged as to quickly convert the fuel from a liquid to a semi-vaporous state in which condition it is mixed with steam just prior to the time at which ignition takes place Means is also provided for heating and supplying suiiicient air to facilitate the consumption of the fuel and the liberation of heat units therefrom. i

In the accompanying drawing the figure is a vertical sectional view 01? the burner.

1 The burner consists of the pan 1 which is provided with a central opening 2 surround ed by a flange 3 which is of the same height as the outer sides of the pan. The hollow cone- 1 is provided with the legs 5 which rest upon the bottom-oi the pan 1 and support the said cone over the opening 2. The cone fl: is greater in diameter at its base than the diameter of the flange 3 across the center of the pan 1 and the vertical. axis of the said cone is in vertical alinenient with thecenter of the opening 2. The cone 6' is of the same shape and dimensions as the cone a and is located above the same. The said cones are spaced apart by the lugs? which are attached to the cone 6 and which rest upon the upper surface of the cone'l. Any other suitable mcans may be employed for holding the said cones in proper spaced relation.

The burner proper is incased within the body or casing 8. The oil tank 9 is located at an elevated point and the pipe 10 depends from the tank 9 and passes under the pan 1 and up through the center of the opening 2 and the apex of the cone 4. Said'pipe is provided with. a valve 11. The tank 12' is also located at an elevated point and the pipe 18 dependsfron the-tank 12 and at a point within the body 8 is provided with a coiled section is which is located above the cone 6 and which terminates in an extremity which passes down vertically through the apex of the said cone 6, The pipe 13 is provided with a valve 15. it will be seen that the outlets of the pipes 10 and 13 are in juxtaposition and vertically alined. z

The operation of the burner is as follows: The valve 11 is open and oil is permitted to flow from the tank 9 through the pipe 10 upon the cone Fromvthe saidconc the oil passes into the pan 1. The oil in the said pan is ignited and when the parts have become sufiiciently heated the valve 1 1 is opened'and water is permitted to flow from the tank 12 through the pipe 13 into the coil 1 1 at which point the said water is converted into steam which is injected into the vapor arising from the end of the pipe 10 and theresultant mixture is carried down between the cones 41 and 6 to the edge of the cone 6 where ignitiontakes place by reason of the said mixture entering the flame and com-' ing in contact with a draft of air which one tors through the opening 2. Thus the flame is deflected laterally against the sides of the body'l and at the same time envelops the cone 6 and the coil'l i. The cold air which enters through the opening 2 comes in contact with the under side of the cone- 1 and is heated before passing under the lower edge of the cone iand proceeding to the point of combustidn, in order to prevent the accumulation of carbon, tar or residiuni' upon the adjacent sides of the cones 4 and 6, a lye'or other solvent is mixed with the water in the tank 12. Such a solvent has the effect of removing the objectionable matter referred to from the said surfaces, Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: In a hydro-carbon burner, binary conical bodiesnestedone within the other and being spaced apart in parallel relation whereby a retort is formed betweenthe bodies with an unobstructed outlet, a incl pipe passing through the a ex of one body and a steam my own, I have hereto offixed my signature pipe passing t rough the apex of tge other in the presence of two Witnesses.

body said pipes being oppositely isposed with relation to each other, and means for OB TOLIVER' 5 admitting air under the unobstructed outlet Witnesses: of the retort between the bodies. H. B, SPERRY, In testimony that claim the foregoing as R. T. FOWLER.
